The Amazonian streaked antwren (Myrmotherula multostriata) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.

By the early twentieth century it and what are now the Guianan streaked antwren (M. surinamensis) and the Pacific antwren (M. pacifica) were considered conspecific as the "streaked antwren".

The Amazonian streaked antwren is 9 to 10 cm (3.5 to 3.9 in) long and weighs 7.5 to 9 g (0.26 to 0.32 oz). It is a smallish bird with a tiny tail. Adult males have a black and white streaked face.

Their wings are black with white... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amazonian Streaked-Antwren is recorded against all the birds logged in Belém (5 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates.
